overwintering Overwintering Room under construction

[Festus]

Well I thought I would take the plunge so to speak and see if I could keep a few of my plants alive and producing over the winter months! So I could have a few peppers and tomatoes

Here is my set up

I picked up a emergency blanket that reflects heat from Waltmart and covered the walls and floor. Do you think my set up will work ? I couldn't get T-5 Lights in 24"

Festus,

I don't do Spanish well, but IME you will need somewhere in the neighborhood of 5,000 lumens at the plant canopy to enable flowering and fruiting. Otherwise, all you will get is foliage growth.

The temp de color = 5000k. That's ok, how many 20 watt bulbs in that 3x3 area? 3-4?
